The battle is heating up, but the situation is overwhelming.

With the effective use of illusions, the Templars artificially divided the battlefield into two areas, on the one hand, they took an annihilating attack posture against the small groups of enemies who were circled into the battle array, and on the other hand, they raised their shields against the elven warriors who reflexively rescued, erecting a solid barrier that was difficult to overcome in a short period of time.

When Monia was forcibly awakened, she was faced with such a bad state of affairs - under the protection of two guards, the little mage opened her eyes with difficulty - this was not a good sleep, the recovery of deep meditation was not comprehensive, her mental power was less than three percent of her heyday, and the migraine caused by over-the-top spells still interfered with her mental state, and it took not only full attention but also a certain amount of luck to complete the corresponding spells.

As the darling of the Aether Will, the mage may not lack luck, but ...... All eyes and ears...... At least for Monia at the moment, it's a difficult problem in front of her.

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can predict where the sword will come from the next moment, and everyone must maintain the utmost vigilance to deal with possible attacks - Monia is the same, although as a combat mage, casting spells in battle is as simple as eating and drinking for her, but ...... The current mage is not in her heyday, and the sequelae of over-the-top spell casting are always affecting her, and it is unrealistic to want to cast spells naturally as usual.

And...... What spells to use to change the tide of battle is also a question.

The biggest difference between the armed forces of the Church and the secular armies is not in the combat power, but in the imaginary enemy - the enemy of the royal power is only the royal power, and the edict of the Lord of the Throne can only be countered by the Lord of the Throne, but the enemy faced by the Church is completely different from all the countries on the continent, since the end of the First Age, after the king landed on the earth and swept across the universe, there is only one enemy that the Church needs to fight, and that is heresy.

- Whoever does not obey God is a heretic.

Elves, mages, ...... Even the primeval creatures, among the enemies of the Church, have powerful spell-casting abilities, and if you want to defeat them and slaughter them, it is necessary to have the arms to resist the extraordinary power - I don't know when the priests of the Church will definitely master the magic elimination of the oracle, the armor of the Church troops will be engraved with the coat of arms to resist spells, and the mages who can freely manipulate the power of the ether have become the greatest enemies of the Church.

The mages were studying the Church, and the Church was studying the mages, and the battle of wits and courage between the two sides stretched through almost the entire Second Age - and the result was that there was no doubt that the Church with the backing of the true God had achieved absolute superiority, and the mages were forced to follow the law of seclusion and hide in the dark corners of the unknown, and gradually evolved from the revered scholars on the towers of the clouds to the eccentrics of folklore who wielded the evil power of demagogy, and the invincible Knights Templar destroyed all forces that dared to resist, Even the archmages who stood at the top of the mortal world fell like rain under the divine power of the gods.

- Helpless

This is probably the opinion of all mages about this history, and it is also the opinion of the vast majority of mages about the armed forces under the jurisdiction of the Church in the name of the Templar - after an entire era of confrontation, the Church has a wealth of research data on spell resistance, and the armor and shield of each Templar warrior are made of high-solidity metal that is difficult for mages to manipulate, and the inscribed spell protection crest is accompanied by the magic of eliminating spells, plus all kinds of blessings that must be chanted during battle...... When the mage saw such a team, it was like seeing a turtle shell.

Monia is a mage, and Monia has the same troubles as all other mages.

Especially now, especially in such a bad mental state.

I can't find a solution, I can't find a way.

It's terrible......

She didn't know anything about what had happened before—no one had the time or heart to explain to her the strange state of affairs that no one had figured out, and Monia knew what was going on, and as soon as she was sober, she threw herself into the fight.

- Although he still lacks spell casting ability, he is still a first-class warrior.

Well...... Probably, right?

Narrowly dodging the Templars' slashes, the little mage couldn't help but retract her divergent thoughts - now was not the time to be distracted, the battle was slipping in the worst direction, and if she didn't take corresponding action to turn the tide, the elven warriors trapped in the encirclement would most likely be eaten away by the enemy before they could complete the convergence, and even she could not guarantee that she would be able to escape.

Is there only forced chanting to cast spells over the next level?

The only spells that can be used in this situation and have an impact on the overall battle situation, Monia can only think of for the time being, the high-level spell Firestorm, however...... It is a very risky thing to use high-level spells in the current state of mind - in order to control the power beyond the scope of one's own ability, the mage's spirit must maintain a high degree of concentration, and even the slightest slack can lead to the loss of control of the spell - the powerful and disorderly power bursts around the caster, annihilating everything around him, including the caster.

Moreover, Monia now needs to face not only the difficulty of maintaining concentration, but also a situation that is so unfavorable for the mage - the migraine caused by the over-the-top spell casting has not faded before, and now she is surrounded by the enemy, with swords and swords everywhere, silver and white armor everywhere, and there is no place to temporarily let go of her worries and concentrate on chanting......

What to do?

The little mage hesitated, and gritted his teeth before the situation deteriorated to a critical point.

"Protect me."

She said, too, an order.

After taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, the mage closed his eyes and let go of his spirit, his lips opened and closed slightly, the ancient and difficult incantation was sung like a poem, the forty-two verses of the mantra song was chanted more than half in one breath, the atmosphere let out a restless roar under the control of the mage, and the red lotus-like fire cloud had begun to appear above the distant canopy.

But when everything was fine, the rhythm of the chant paused for a faint half a beat—the sickening emptiness and the intense pain that roared like a tsunami made her almost unsteady on her feet, and the continuous overcast of spells nearly drained her last bit of energy, and yet ...... The unstable shaping that has entered the final stage is asking her for more, and all she can do is forcibly overdraw her potential and maintain her supply, regardless of the possible serious consequences.

If it's a normal mage...... Maybe it's about to cut off the promotion channel, right?

However, I was saved by this bloodline again......

In the midst of the pain, the spirit is clearer, Monia controls the brewing of the firestorm, and at the same time soothes her pain with such an unbounded thought - as the bloodline of the primordial elves, there is no strict level for promotion, so it is extremely fortunate that the worst consequences of over-casting spells for the mage can be avoided, and all she needs to bear is mental pain.

It would be nice to hold on for a few more sessions......

The incantation of the firestorm is forty-two verses long, and the mage has only chanted thirty-seven verses so far, and there are only five verses of the incantation left, if it is at the usual speed, it will only take less than a mole of time, but in this state, if you want to complete the chanting, you need not only perseverance, but also patience.

Monia had the patience, but she couldn't expect her enemies to possess such valuable qualities—in fact, the intensity of her enemy's attacks increased dramatically after perceiving the vast flaming clouds in the canopy, and the two protectors were already covered in bruises to protect her spell from being disturbed.

It must be as soon as possible.

Despite realizing this, Monia had no way to keep the firestorm unfolding, she had done her best, there was no way to speed up the chanting, all she could do was do everything she could, and then pray silently, praying that everything would go in a good direction.

However...... Things do not turn out the way you want.

The blazing blood finally splashed, the bright red flowers finally bloomed, and the last thing that caught my eye was a smile full of apologies.

This, this, this......

There was a moment of blankness in her mind, Monia could understand why she chose to stand in front of her when the long sword fell, but understanding is understanding, when she really saw this scene, the spontaneous shock, but she couldn't control it.

I don't even know the name...... Clearly......

Monia opened her mouth to say something, but only to spit out a series of incantations, the last of them.

“Flaer！”

The mage announced the completion of the spell in an almost cathartic manner, as if in response to her wrath, the world rendered a bright red, and the scorching wind and sand whistled across the hot and dry earth, and then ...... The heavens and the earth awoke, and the clouds in the sky were swept into a crimson chaos, and the flames of the red lotus fell from the sky, setting off a storm of destruction accompanied by the sound of the earth's roar, annihilating everything on the earth.

A storm of fires is coming.

With the mage's existing spiritual power, the firestorm cast is just a miniature version, the enveloping range is less than half of that of the high-level mage, and its power is far from enough to kill the warriors, but here, in this situation, this shrunken version of the large-area lethal spell is really suitable - the location of the firestorm is the barrier set up by the templars to defend against the elven warriors who return to the defense, and the scope of the shroud is small, which means that the probability of accidentally injuring allies is small, and the power is slightly lower than that of high-level mages, But being able to kill a Templar warrior who is protected by divine magic, without having the power to kill a warrior, is just right at this moment.

It's just that...... The pressure on the caster is not so friendly - almost at the same time as the flames fall, everything on the battlefield is far away from the mage.

Monia loses consciousness.
